My first FM-1 is out for delivery. I once assisted in a 2" tape studio, I have played with many synths, and yet I am so excited for this little thing.

This is such a cool hardware meme/software/ai dev thing that makes me very happy for the world.

I am just about to start learning. If anyone could drop firmware knowledge aside from Baud Girl (cool af) ... I would appreciate it. I am mostly excited about Obervave, but I will have two FM-1's shortly... what is the best step sequencer firmware at the moment?

I've found this to be a good resource for discovering fun custom firmwares!

I’ve tried a few, I liked Jiant’s workflow the best so far (I also tried sloop and skiff)

I just wish it had proper 909 & 303 emulation

I've used sloop for a groove box firmware. Pretty nifty, like it more than the other groove box firmwares.
